"That is what I am here for, miss." He smiled reassuringly. "Never ask my father if he wishes tea and toast" gravely. "Yes, miss" with honest gravity. Thomas knew nothing of women, young or old. With the habits and tastes of the male biped he was tolerably familiar. He was to learn. "Hot water-bottles for my mother every night, and a pot of chocolate for myself.
Tao and I sat down near one of the lights and ate together. We were served by one of the men. My guard still kept close at hand.

This was served us in small metal cups with handles that seemed to be insulated from the heat.
'I'm for supper, he observed, as he took his iron ration out of his haversack. 'We'll share this to-night, Ken, and breakfast off yours in the morning. Luckily I've still got some water in my bottle. The emergency or iron ration consists mainly of concentrated beef, biscuit, and chocolate. There is not much of it, so far as bulk goes, but it is very sustaining.
A moment later they were in the ice cream parlor that was like a cool green cave after the heat and the light outside.

"When I was little, nothing but a baby," she said, "I thought that it was the yellow in the eggs I ate that made my hair yellow.
A cold rain was falling and had turned the streets of Ablain and all the roads to it into swamps. In these were islands of bricks and lakes of water of the solidity and color of melted chocolate.

"We are dodging the conscript," said Roldan. "You will not betray us?" "I should think not. I'd hide my own boys, if the mountains did not do that for me. Come in, come in. The house is yours, my sons. Burn it if you will. Tired? Here. Go in and get into bed. The servants are not up, but I myself will make you chocolate and a tortilla." The boys did not awaken for eight hours.
"Here are ten groschens;" mamma Betty took them out of her scanty purse with something of a sigh; "buy as much cake and whatever you like. Liseke tell Marie to make a pitcher of chocolate instantly. My little Hannah, you may set the table." "Oh, mamma, may I put on the pretty china cups and saucers?" Hannah pleaded, as Max and Liseke bounded out of the room. "Yes, but be careful, my dear."
"Oh, I know," cried Arline. "Nut chocolates; the delicious kind that old candy man in Oakdale makes." "Some one must have told you," said Grace, going to the closet and returning with a huge box. "You are all to stay here until the last chocolate is eaten."
